One quiet week in Lecce
My friend and I picked Lecce as a base for its history and architectural beauty. The center is compact and the train station is within walking distance. The apartment was spacious with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It was only 2 of us but it could accommodate 5. We enjoyed its location.

Menorable
Where to begin. Firstly, the location was perfect. It was a 2 minute walk from Piazza Samt’oranzo (one of the main squares in the old town) and bars, restaurants, shops galore. However, it was perfectly situated enough away from the hustle and bustle not to hear any of the goings on. The property itself was amazing. Beautiful baroque architecture. High ceilings,, original stone walls and all kept in pristine condition. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The mezzanine got very warm so it was essential to have the fan on when sleeping up there but was very cozy. The one bedroom that had air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything you needed and the the two bathrooms proved very useful for my family of 5. The host was fantastic, always available (not that we needed to contact her that often) and extremely helpful. She communicated very clearly with us addressing all our questions well. She really went the extra mile organising a cot for our baby, having some water, food and snacks there for our arrival and even helping us out with travel arrangements from Brindisi airport. We stayed here for a total of 4 weeks and it was absolutely perfect t. Lecce itself is just such a relaxed and beautiful place. Will 100% be back!

We had a wonderful stay in Lecce. The city is beautiful and the location is very central. The house was very clean and nicer than the pictures. The rooms are beautiful and everything worked well. Maria was very helpful and communicative- thank you for making feel at home! As a note when staying in the old city: parking will be a little distant, so expect to walk about 10 minutes.

Family vacation in Italy
This was my first time using VRBO internationally and I was extremely happy with the service and the owner. I really appreciated that they allowed a 100% refund as close to my stay and that they didn’t require final payment so far in advance. Many American rentals are not so generous or trusting. Fortunately, our travel went as expected and there was no need to cancel, etc. The apartment was lovely and Maria Grazia was very helpful with the check-in process. She met us upon arrival and provided nice instructions in advance with parking options during our stay which was much appreciated. The location was central to the historic district, and we thoroughly enjoyed our walks through town and evening dinners out in lovely Lecce. Thank you!

Family stay in Lecce
Excellent communication, well equipped, great location. Would recommend. Only thing was lack of comfy seating area. When relaxing between exorong Lecce and then going out in the evening had to sit on bed. Outside area small and in shade which is good in Sumner but we visited in April. the area with a small bed on floor could be changes to having a small sofa to sit on.

Great stay in Lecce
We had a great stay in Lecce. The Apartment is centrally located, a 2 minute walk from the old town and main piazza. It was well appointed, the hosts friendly and attentive, and had everything we needed. When we couldn't find a bread-board, Maria purchased one that same day and dropped it off. Nothing was too much trouble. Lecce was lovely and the apartment was very easy to live in for a short stay. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Great Location
Marie Grazia is a lovely host. She met us at the station and took us to a supermarket. She was also super responsive when we had a problem. A great location in the centre made everything accessible. Commfortable bed Very clean. The apartment is on the ground floor. The heating works very efficiently. It comprises of two good sized double bedrooms, two bathrooms a kitchen and a bed on the mezzanine. Although we knew this from the accurate description we had not realized that we would miss the option of having easy chairs. The apartment and the bed felt slightly damp when we arrived. The heating was very useful.in sorting this for us.

Very attractive apartment in the old center city.
It was a lovely space, although there is one thing that any potential renter should be aware of. Public parking is necessary, and because it's a busy spot, we never took day trips because we might come home in the evening and not be able to find a spot. Also, it was necessary to walk 15 minutes every morning at nine to put a day's worth of coins into the machine. It wasn't a huge thing, but it might be a factor for some. One other thing, the kitchen could have been a little better equiped.

Perfect location
I A wonderful location right in the middle of the old city. Perfect for two couples. Maria was always available to help us with our questions. The only drawback is that you can NOT park anywhere near this property as the listing says. The nearest parking lot is a 15 minute walk away and you need to plug the meter every day by 9:00am. Other than that the property was perfect.

Misleading information
Please be aware that some information regarding this property is inaccurate and misleading. The property is well presented and conveniently situated in the historic centre of the old city of Lecce, however as my wife suffers from mobility issues and is currently awaiting major orthopaedic surgery we specifically researched accommodation with onsite parking for our trip (as advertised at this property!) On arrival we found that the property is within the ZTL restricted traffic area and we had to park a considerable distance away in a “pay and display” car park leading to us having to curtail many of our planned excursions to the surrounding area and make frequent trips to feed a parking meter while our rental car enjoyed a more restful vacation than we did.

Beautiful apartment in perfect location
Wanting to see more of Puglia, my family and I anchored in Lecce for 4 nights. The apartment was in a great location, spacious, and pretty. The small courtyard made drying clothes easy. The only parking was paid parking outside of the ZTL, and the meter had to be maintained, which meant that my husband and to wake up and pay each morning before 9:00. We always found a parking spot as we came and went from the city, but a couple of times, that seemed like a small miracle. Additionally, there is AC in only one bedroom. We used the provided fan to pull the cool air through the apartment at night since we strayed there in July. I can imagine that the apartment gets warm only a couple months a year, as the vaulted stone ceilings kept things fairly comfortable even when it was stifling outside. Our host was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would return to this location, for sure.

Spacious, clean and a great location. Full sized kitchen was great as well as the private patio. The location could not be better, and for the size of this place it is a great value. The hosts picked me up at the airport and made everything as easy as possible. My only complaint is that the neighbors above are a bit loud, talk loudly until late hours. You can only hear this with the back door open (Master Bed). If you close it, then no noise. Great place, you won't be sorry.
